January is typically a very cold and gloomy month and this inspired me to do a photo shoot and write-up on some amazing jewelry pieces that caught my eye while attending “The Little Craft Show” this past December.
Flora and Fauna jewelry design has a very raw and Viking type feel with their usage of real, naturally shed deer antlers, raw minerals and gemstones. Ted and Keely Wake, who are husband and wife, partner in the making and foraging of these organic, witchy and striking one of a kind pieces.
The couple recently re-located here in Fayetteville last June from Sacramento Calif., (along with their three babes) and brought their lovely jewels and style with them. So glad they did! Mayapple Salon and Boutique at 546 West Center St., unit A will be carrying a few Select Flora and Fauna Design pieces. You can find their whole line on Etsy at https://www.etsy.com/shop/FloraandFauunaDesign and be sure and follow them on Instagram under Floraandfauunadesign.
